Dental Implants

Are missing teeth making you feel self-conscious about your smile, or keeping you from eating comfortably each day?

Our highly dedicated and skilled dentists at Complete Smiles Bella Vista have a long lasting, natural looking solution in the form of a dental implant. This will give you a brand new tooth that looks and feels exactly like it’s supposed to

At Complete Smiles Bella Vista, we use only the best implant materials and equipment to provide you with both a stable long term and natural looking solution that can also be an exciting alternative to that lose denture as well.

What are the benefits of a dental implant?

They last longer than bridges or dentures

The help prevent further bone loss associated with missing teeth

Ideal replacement to that flappy removable denture that doesn’t require cleaning after every meal

They look and feel like natural teeth whilst providing a cosmetically appealing look

You can chew and eat hard foods normally

They can greatly improve your self-confidence and smile

Replacing a single tooth.

Singular tooth loss is can be easily treated. One lost tooth can be an uncomfortable and even embarrassing experience, especially if it’s one that can be seen when you smile. At Complete Smiles Bella Vista, our highly skilled dentists can use a single implant to quickly fill the gap and get you smiling again.

A titanium implant is placed where the missing tooth or gap is and then left for a period of 3 months to ensure the bone has fused or joined onto the surface of the implant. This forms a strong, durable bond that mimics that of a natural crown and root, stimulating the jaw bone and gums to keep them healthy and alive. Once this process is complete, our dentists will then design a bespoke cosmetic crown for you giving you back your natural smile.

Why a single implant over a traditional porcelain bridge?

Dental bridges rely on the adjacent teeth to support the missing tooth. To get this stability, it may involve shaving down healthy teeth and reducing their long term survival. A dental bridge merely connects the remaining teeth via a false prosthetic tooth, literally ‘bridging the gap’ left by a missing tooth. Whilst this may provide a cosmetic solution in the short term, this comes at a cost with the reduction or shaving down of the two neighboring teeth. This may not be the case every time, which is why we always recommend coming in for a consultation to have a treatment plan specifically tailored to you.

Missing more than one tooth?

Similarly to a cosmetic porcelain bridge, at Complete Smiles Bella Vista, we can also use multiple implants to restore several missing teeth, or even the whole arch, upper or lower.

The overall implant placement process is the same as for a single implant tooth however as there is more than one implant being placed, it will require much more detailed planning. By placing dental implants into these bone losses or ‘gap’ sites, our highly skilled dentists are able to use these implants as a solid foundation to place a cosmetic porcelain bridge. Your new bridge will not only be able to withstand the everyday forces of pressure and chewing, but will also look amazing and bring life back to your smile.

The main benefits to an implant supported bridge vs a traditional bridge are as follows,

Replacement of multiple missing teeth at once

Even distribution of forces leading to reduced pressure on a single tooth

No need to drill into neighboring teeth to make space for the bridge

Tired of that loose denture always falling out?

At Complete Smiles Bella Vista, we can place several dental implants and have these attach to a denture either permanently in place or by utilizing ball and socket joints to ensure they won’t move, slip or fall out during those special occasions. No more embarrassing slips. This treatment is suitable for those who have lost all of their teeth in a dental arch, but have enough quality bone to support the implants. No one is a hopeless case, which is why at Complete Smiles Bella Vista, we also recommend you come in and have a cosmetic consultation with our friendly staff to discuss what we can achieve in giving you a smile you’ll feel confident and attractive in.

Don’t like the feeling of a full mouth of plastic with a traditional denture, our implanted supported dentures can be made much thinner and with a more natural feel than traditional dentures. By using dental implants as a secure attachment point for the denture, this allows us to give our patients not only full function, but also a care free lifestyle not having to worry about their dentures falling out or coming loose. Our patients are happier and much more confident.

At Complete Smiles Bella Vista, we understand that everyone is individual and what works for some may not work for others. It’s for this reason we are proud to offer both removable implant dentures as well as a more permanently fixed or non-removable implant supported denture. Our removable dentures have a series of custom-made abutments attached to the bottom of the denture so that they can be easily removed and cleaned. Our dentures are custom made to the individual, with Dr Hanna and his team taking the time to sit and discuss with you the process involved, what can be achieved whilst ensuring your new denture not only looks great but feels great as well
